More Human: Jules Davidson & Rijøbi Push the Question Forward

Can we be more human, or did we misplace the manual?

I’ll shout it because the question needs some extra volume: Can We Be More Human? The idea behind this song grows from the world we’re building around artificial intelligence, automation, and constant digital presence. We’ve engineered tools that think, write, generate, predict. Meanwhile, we risk forgetting how to feel, pause, connect. Jules Davidson and Rijøbi hit the nerve with More Human, dropping the question on the table and letting the rhythm deal with it.

From muted piano to a full-bodied rush

More Human starts on muted piano and tight, glitchy, filtered movement. Like the track warms its hands before stepping into traffic. Then it opens up, and the charisma shows up: the melody sketches the shape, the drums sign it in ink. The chorus jumps, and my heartbeat climbs a little.

I loved the way the synths build around that beautifully strange piano and bass. The structure keeps shifting. Just when it settles, it pulls back into that half-time, low-lit space. Then it rises again and stretches its legs.

Live it now, don’t hesitate

What I like about this song is that it doesn’t circle technology. It circles us. “A story that comes from the places you’ve been.” There’s something more in here – presence, experiences, warm breath – things that don’t live on a screen.

“None in a photo, but something to feel.” That’s the kind of truth that cleans your head for a second. We archive everything now. We post it, crop it, store it. Meanwhile the real moments pass through the body and vanish. This verse pushes against that habit. It says: feel it now. Not later. Then it goes straight to it: “Time is now, don’t hesitate.” I think that’s the spine of the song. Don’t waste your time waiting for a better version of yourself. Move. Speak. Touch. Create.

Why I played it again

More Human marks their second collaboration, following Take Me Away earlier this year. I finish it thinking about creativity as a muscle: use it, feed it, protect it. So I ran the song again. Because sometimes the most human thing you can do involves a speaker, or maybe a heartbeat tempo, and the courage to feel it.
